On Friday, President Bush held a press conference alongside Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

President Bush: “I don’t think America gets enough credit for trying to help improve people’s lives. And so my trip is to explain, as clearly as I can, that our nation is generous and compassionate; that when we see poverty, we care; that when we see illiteracy, we want to do something about it; that when we find there to be a deficiency in healthcare, we’ll help to the extent we can.”
